Any .36 caliber fans out there?

[Dudemeister]

I have two .36 cal 1862 Pocket Police Colts. These are the small frame 5 shot pocket revolvers, and I think they are the sexiest open top revolvers ever made.

The top one is a second gen Colt (in unfired condition), the bottom is a Uberti (I think, but I'm not sure), which I had to partially restore.

I'm a big Remington fan, but even I have to admit yer open-tops are dead sexy.

Three of my Pocket Models.



(The one with the squared guard doesn't count as it is 31 caliber.)

A pair of 36s, these are 1861s



And the one I wish was mine

Love the .36 too!! Definitely, if I had to pick, would say my '51 has to be my favorite. Don't get me wrong either, I love my Army .44, Walker, Dragoon, etc. but those .36s are just dead sexy and accurate as can be. My girl loves her's too and pretty much just shoots it excusively now. I bought her a '61 as she loved the rounded barrel and sleeker lines of the Army. I also have a Remington .36 but it doesn't get near the use as the open tops. I'm just a Colt man I guess.

Here's my '51 Uberti that I refinished the grips on, don't like that Uberti red shellac, and my '61 London inherited from Dad. It was purchased in 72.



And here is the '61 London with my wife's '61 Civillian. She, on the other hand, does like the shiny fancy red grips and bright brass. Notice on the old London from the early 70s the incredible coloring of the case hardening. It's a true beauty.



'61 London blueing.

I hate Backorders! Now the backorder may go on as long as end of May!
How can they make a Blackpowder lover wait so long? Don't they understand?
Ha I can imagine ordering a customised Cartrige conversion. I herd of one taking 8 months cause the Gunsmith took everything as it came in one at a time. Wow that wait must've been murder!
At least I have other BP revolvers to shoot. It'll give me some time to get .44 shootin down pat!
